They asked me if I did n , >t think that the slaves in their country were better off than the people in my country were—were they not better clothed and better cared for than the working people in Eng land? I said if the working men in England did not work they were not paid, but if they would work they were paid for their work. I do say that slavery is the curse of that country. (No, no.) But good may come out of it. Yet I say slavery was the beginning of this war—slavery is at the bottom of it, (No, no.) I do not mean to say the North would conquer the South. I hopo they will come to see it right that there should be no more American-born slaves, but that slavery will be allowed to die out, and that every American will be paid the value for his labour.

Sir,—Aa England's glory is her love and observance of law, truth, and justice, I would feel wanting in a most sacred duty were I to preserve a criminal silence, after witnessing the sinister occurrence on the 26th ultimo, of the House of Commons having been misled by statements wholly at variance with that "love and observance of law, truth, and justice," which should have bean characteristic of those who represent the majesty of the law in that House, and have entrusted to therm duties of the most high and exalted character. The marvellously correct versions which the public journals furnish—literally the fpsiBsitna verba—of the law advisers of the Crown, enable me to substantiate my asser tions so securely, as to defy the hostile criticisms from legal quarters, which they are sure to encounter, and also to show the vain attempt made by those high and influential Go vernment officials to draw the mind of the House of Com mons away from fixing itself with becoming intensity on the invasion of the rights and liberties of her Majesty's subjects. The Ist Section of the Petitions of Right Act, 1860, (25d and 24th Vic., c. 34) states as follows : " That a petition of right may, if the suppliant think fit, be intituled in any one of the superior Courts of Common Law or Equity at Westminster, in which the aubject matter of such petition, or any material part thereof, would have been cognizable, if tho same had been a natter in dis pute between subject and subject, and if intituled in a court of common law, shall state in the margin the venue for the trial of such petition." The subject matter of the grievance set forth in my peti tion of right, which is duly intituled in the Court of Queen's Bench, at Westminster, and has, "Middlesex'' stated in the margin for the trial of such petition, is a malicious pro secution by the servants of the Crown. The petition suffi ciently shows " the subject matter therein set forth would have been cognizable in any one of the superior courts at Westminster " if the same had been a matter in dispute between subject and subject." Had not the servants of the Crown, but Mr. Robert Johnston, (who wrote the all-important autograph official letter of October 12th, 1834, which had the material post mark dates thereon, and the contents of which having come to light cannot possibly be reconciled with the contents of his affidavit, prepared and filed by the servants of the Crown, to prevent my setting aside the adverse verdict,) been the party prosecuting, he would have been equally justified in assuming a power to close her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench, at Westminster, against me, and in forbidding a writ to be issued out of that court, for a malicious prosecution at my suit against him, in order to be screened from the consequences of his misdeeds; as Sir George Grey is now justified in his assumption of power to prevent the law taking its eourse, and in advising the Queen not to grant her fiat, in order to be screened-- himself end the other high officials—the real defendants in the case—from the consequences of their misdeeds ; for the fiat to the petition of right ie nothing more than the com mencement of a suit by the issuing of that process, in the same manner as a suit against a subject by the issuing of a writ. By Sir George Grey's advice to her Majesty to withhold her fiat—the indispensable requisite for obtaining justice-- the Queen is made to adjudicate upon important questions of law and fact between the Crown and the subject, and to perform the very highest of all judicial functions; because her Majesty is thus deciding the suit against the subject, without any possibility of its being brought under review of a Court of Error or Appeal—an adjudication adverse to the subject, final against his rights and made in private in favour of the Crown, upon the secret advic e an d s t a t emen t s o f I r ish high officials, which statement s , on h av i ng come t o li g ht, and being placed in the hands of th e h on. an d l earne d mem ber for the King' s County, he, in the mo s t d ec id e d manner , pledged himself t o the House of Commons, " WER E TOT ALLY FALSE." All I contend for is, that thi s fi na l a nd irreversible dec!- sion gioughtveunot the toop opportunity t u pronounced eaadginag my cause. inst me without my being Appa rently, while such abuses are extant, we have not yet obliterated the tyranny of the Star Chamber. The assumption of power to thus substitute ministerial authority in lieu of the judicial tribunals of the country, which are appointed by law is therefore a grave constitutional question of the highest possible import, both as regards the subject and the Crown; in fact none can be higher, and it is not of a political or party character. The Queen, by her coronation oath, swears that she will govern her people ac cording to law, and neither deny or delay right or justice to any one. So, no person or authority, whether he be a Secretary of State or otherwise, had any constitutional ec right to advise her Majesty, in viola t ion of the ex p ress words of the statute, to deny right and justice to any one o f her subjects ; or to release and discharge her Maj es ty f r o m to her a swornl ri all—lrish obligation as w el las English t accordon lish b sure su and righteous justice its—b e f ore her Judges at Westminster, in whichever of the Courts of justice it now may please the subject to select. No more momentous question for the liberties of Eng land has come before the House of Commons since the famous constitutional statute of 1628, when Charles the First refused to adopt the ancient form of the Royal Assent, "Soit droif fait confine it est desire." For nearly a century the Stuarts strove to break up or overcome the rights of the subject; but the free and determined people of that day saw the consequences, which n ecessarily would have resulted from relinquishing so co nstitutional a right, as " trial by jury." The strife ended in the expulsion of the Stuart dynasty, and in the full establishment of Petition of Right, which is the birthright of the subject. (See Chitty on the Royal Prerogative, 341. Allen on the Royal Pre rogative, 93. Manning's Exchequer Practise, 81. Fos ter's Life of Sir George Eliot, 2d Vol.) Petition of Right is the foundation upon which the great ness of England has been built. It existed before the Norman Conquest, and in spite of that conquest has con tinued to the present day. The operations of this right have smoothed the task of our monarchy and rendered our Queen the happiest and most beloved, as well as the most powerful Sovereign in the world. The true definition of petition of rigb t is that it is the suit of the subject, whose right is denied him, and who hath not any adequate remedy open to him fur vindicating the same ; and it is addressed to the Queen herself, that the fountain of all justice may supply the deficiency. A necessity therefore exists for pre serving in its strictest integrity to her Majesty's Irish, as well as to her English subjects, this ancient and sacred institution, which is the best and firmest pillar of support under our constitutional Monarchy. In order to sustain Sir George Grey's unconstitutional advice to the Queen, " not to let right be done," and the assumption of power to substitute Ministerial authority in lieu of the judicial tribunals of the country, those influential and high law officials, who are themselves directors of Government in cases of emergency, have had recourse to a mode of procedure, which is so great a perversion and mockery of " law, truth, and justice," that it needs only to be mentioned to meet with reprobation. Having already shown in a former published letter that the statements of her Majesty's Attorneys General for Ireland, the Right Hon. Mr 011ag,an, to the House of Commons are fallacious, and controverted not only by the records of the house, itself--(Appendix to 17th Report on Public Petitions, page 566, 1836) —but by the personal evidence of the Queen, who, on February 20th, 1839, and on several subsequent occasions, has been graciously pleased to receive me and tc permit my presenting to her Majesty my petition, complaining of her servants commit ting so great - an outrage on my character, feelings, and liberty, which ought to be the object and especial care of the Crown—l will now proceed to give a few instances of the Attorney-General fur England's statements. In the commencement of that eloquent personage's address to the House of Commons, on the 26th ult., he alleged as follows : —" It so happened that the last of those so called petitions of right was presented by Mr O'Malley Irwin in the time of his immediate predecessor (Sir William Atherton), who added another to the numerous Attorney-Generals, who had all felt it to be absolutely inconsistent with their duty to endorse the fiat an a petition of right of that description." This statement is utterly incorrect and unfounded. It is also a libel on the great constitutional learning and integrity of the late lamented Attorney-General, Sir W. Atherton, and on the other " numerous Attorney-Generals" referred to, especially Sir Fitzroy Kelly—the foremost member of the English bar—who held the high office of Attorney- General for England, and on the 21st of July 1863, stated in the House of Commons : " That the Secretary of State had no right whatever,whether Mr O'Malley Irwin was right or wrong, to interfere in a matter relating to the petition of right to the Crown, that it was a constitutional right, which the subject by virtue of the act (23d and 24th Vic„ c. 34) was entitled to ask; and that no person and no authority, whether he be a Secretary of State or otherwise, had any right whatever to advise her Majesty not to issue her fiat,directing that the petitioner be:heard before her Ma jesty's judges of the Court of Queen's Bench in the matter of his petition of right." Sir William Atherton's letter, dated 26th October, 1861, addressed to my solicitor, Mr Pullen, proves that Sir George Grey, Secretary of State for the Home Department, kept Sir William Atherton, the then first law-adviser of the Crown, ignorant of the particulars of my petition of right case, and did not refer to him for adjudication officially, and in the usual official manner, my petition, which Mr Pullen had duly left at the Home-office on the 17th September, 1861, for that purpose. On this occasion, Sir George Grey, by letter, dated September 30, 1861 (without having consulted Sir William Atherton, the Attorney- General, as to endorsing the fiat on my petition of right of 17th September, 1861,) took upon himself to inform me through Mr Waddington, the Under-Secretary of State, " that the matter to which the petition relates does not form the ground of a petition of right, and, therefore, it cannot be endorsed in the usual manner." These facts cannot be controverted. They manifestly appear by comparing the respective dates of the petition of right, 17th Sept., 1861, and of Sir G. Grey's letter, 30th Sept., 1861, with the subsequent date of Sir W. Atherton's letter, 26th Oct., 1861, which was addressed to my solicitor, Chas. A. Pullen, Esq., 22, Chancery-lane, expressly stat ing, "that he (Sir W, Atherton) was ignorant of the particulars of the case." Moreover, a special endorsement, to which I refer Sir R. Palmer, appears to have been made at the Home Office, as to the petition of right of 24th April, 1861, "that it was not to be referred to SirW. Ather ton, the Attorney-General." This endorsement, together with the word "nil," is written on my official letter of the 15th July,lB6l,which, together with a "memorandum" and "statement of facts," I addressed to theHomeOffice, in order that that petition of right might officially, and in the usual official manner, be referred for the adjudication of the then Attorney-General, Sir William Atherton. My solicitor also addressed a letter, dated the 21st of May, 1862, to Sir G. Grey, referring him especially to the above letter of 15th July, 1861; but all to no effect—Sir W. Atherton being studiously kept ignorant of this case; (See page 8, " Sessional Paper," 342, 1863.) Sir R. Palmer's next allegation to the House of Com mons, in relation to Attorney-General, Sir W. Follett, whose legal acumen and constitutional learning could only be equalled by his " love and observance of law, truth, and justice," is ae inconsistent with the fact, as the learned gentleman's statements in reference to Sir Fitzroy Kelly and Sir William Atherton. It is as follows : Mr Irwin himself said that in July, 1844, he transmitted through Sir William Follett, then Attor ney-General, his petition of right to the Secretary of State," " but Sir W. Follett was of opinion that it was no petition of right at all." Facts are stubtorn things. Sir R. Palmer can readily satisfy himself how utterly fallacious this statement is by referring to the Home-office, where he can see, on record there, Sir W. Follett's autograph letter, dated July, 1844, which he felt it his duty to address, as her Majesty's Attorney-General, " officially and in the usual official form,"to the then Home Secretary, accom panying my petition of right, for the purpose of having that petition submitted for her Majesty's Royal endorse ment, " Let right be done," in order that the matter in dispute between the Crown and myself might be decided by the competent jurisdiction. Sir R. Palmer also continued to assure the House of Commons, that a petition of tight had been presented by me, when Lord Chelmsford was Attorney-General, and that it was laid before him, then Sir F. Thesigor, " to ascertain whether he would advise the usual endorsement to be put upon it, and the fact that that was not done showed that Lord Chelmsford, like all other attorney generals, was of opinion that this was no petition of right at all." This statement is purely a myth—based on no other foundation than the very vivacious imagination of Sir Roundell Palmer. The simple fact is, that no petition of right at all was presented on my behalf when Lord Chelmsford was attorney- general, and no such petition was laid before his Lordship. It is to be regretted that Sir R. Palmer, like Attorney- General Heath in Charles L's time, should so far forget himself, and the high and exalted duties which devolved on him, as her Majesty's Attorney-General, thus by statements so wholly fallacious, as well as by flippant expressions, to attempt the repeal of the most important statute which has passed since the Great Charter, for remedying the griev ances and better securing the rights and liberties of her Majesty's subjects. I charge the Attorney-General, Sir R. Palmer, with it, I brand it on his forehead—exsurge carnifex! The flippant expressions, to which T allude, are Sir H. Palmer's insinuations, in his reply to Sir F. Kelly's state • meat to the House of Commons on Friday, the 22d ult., when referring to the all-important autograph official letter, dated 12th Oct., 1834 (which was addressed by Mr Robert Johnston, the late assistant barrister for the county of Mayo, to the then Chief Secretary for Ireland), Sir Roan dell actually ventured to insinuate " that it was impossible to say it was not also a forgery." The high character, posi tion, and station of the right hon. Earl Russell place his lordship's evidence on this head beyond all doubt and suspi cion, as proof that the flippant insinuations of her Majesty's AttorneyGeneral,Sirß. Palmer,are as fallacious as his state ments. Earl Russell has sworn, filed, and recorded hie affidavit in the Queen's Bench in June, 1839, alleging as follows:—" That the said papers and documents required by the said subpcena (viz., a letter dated Oct. 12th, 1834, ad dressed by Mr Robert Johnston, the late assistant barrister for the county of Mayo, to the then Chief Secretary for Ire land, and other documents), were in his custudy as Secre tary of State." Sir G. Grey was duly served with a subpcona duces tecum, as her Majesty's Secretary of State, to produce this letter of Oct. 12th, 1834, and certain other documents, but that right hon. gentleman thought proper to treat with contempt her Majesty's writ, and not to comply therewith. Fortunately for him Sir John Coleridge had not been the presiding judge on that occasion. The note, which is annexed to sessional paper, 417, 1864 (being the return to the House of Commons, containing the important official copies, which Sir Fitzroy Kelly suc ceeded in necessitating the Home-office to furnish), states "that the letter of Oct, 12th was abstracted from the Crown Solicitor's papers during the trial of Mr O'Malley Irwin, in 1835," and " has never been recovered." Earl Russell's affidavit also proves how fallacious are the statements in this note, furnished by the Homesoffice to the House of Coma mots, as regards the ambiguity of not specifying which of the trials (both having occurred in 1835), and as regards the allegation " that the letter of Oct. 12th had never been recovered.' Nothing can justify Sir George Grey's allegations in the house, so prejudicial to me in reference to the documents which Mr Spencer Walpole felt it to be his duty to place in my hands actuated by the same "love of law, truth, and justice" so pre-eminently distinguishing and characteristic of that right hon. gentle man, and of the late eminent Lord Chief Justice Penne father and Baron Greene, who, as her Majesty's benchers, have written so kindly and in so favourable a view on my behalf, I beg leave, for my own justification, to quote in &tense the letter which Mr Walpole wrote on the occasion of his having left sealed up, with instructions to give to me, the documents which Sir G. Grey stated " must have been abstracted from the office of the Secretary of State," adding "no doubt they came to the hon member for the King's County through Mr O'Malley Irwin." It is as follows January 2i, 18GO. Deal Mr O'Malley Irwin,—l have brought up some papers, and left them sealed up in Grafton-street, with in structions to give them to you.—Dear Sir, yours ever very fsithfully, S. 11, WALPOLE. G. O'Malley Irwin, Esq. The fundamental securities of the rights and liber ties of her Majesty's subjects all over the globe are now being undermined by the unconstitutional conduct of her Majesty's high officials, actuated by statements " wholly fallacious," and by secret evidence in the private chamber of the Home-office, "totally false," and I am on trial before the whole empire. I hope, however, next session of Parliaafent to chronicle that I have passed creditably through the ordeal, and to record that all the senators — Radical, Liberal, and Conservative—who have no sympathy for substituting ministerial authority iu lieu of the proper Lord EDWARD HOWARD responded, and spoke chiefly on personal and local matters. He sympathised with the people of Sheffield in their sufferings caused by the recent flood, and then proceeded to congratulate the audience on the prosperity of the trade and manufactures of the town. He also trusted that the time would come when Sheffield would be made the chief residence of the Duke of Norfolk. He should use his efforts to bring about that result. The health of " His Grace the Duke of Rutland" and that of " His Grace the Duke of Devonshire" were proposed by Mr Henry Colley; Mr T. Dunn proposed the health of " Earl Fitzwilliam ;" and Mr J. J. Smith proposed the health of "Lord Wharncliffe and the House of Wortley," and the Hon. J. F. Wortley responded. Mr Henry Harrison proposed the health of "the Right Hon. Lord Denman." In his reply Lord DENMAN spoke with some warmth against the conduct of the Government in the Deno. Ger man question ; he gave his reason for voting against the Government on the occasion of the discussion on the Vote of Censure, and defended the giving of proxies by those who were not present, stating that the correspondence on the subject was so full that persons who read it were as capable of giving their vote as those who were present at the debate. His Lordship quoted from speeches made by Lord Wodehouse in 1815 and his own father in 1823 to shcw that the course adopted by Government in the Dano-German affair was highly censurable, and concluded by saying that if Parliament did not meet early and prevent the aggressions of Prussia he did not know where the matter would end. (His Lordship was listened to with marked impatience, and was frequently interrupted by ironical cheering.) In reply to the health of the " Borough Members," Mr ROEBUCK, who was received with protracted cheers, said :—Maater_Cutier,—l have to thank Master Hunter, Sir, for the very kind manner in which he has proposed my health and that of my hon. colleague, and I have to thank you, gentlemen, for the kind manner in which you have re ceived the toast. '1 he health of my colleague brings to my mind the fact of his absence, and that we all deplore the cause of it more than his mere absence. (Hear, hear.) I am sure that if he had been here he would have returned thanks in terms far more eloquent than I am able to employ. (No, no.) Sir, in looking back along the long vista of the years in which I have been member of Parliament, at the end of it I see myself proposing myself to be a member of Parliament; and now, when I have grown an old man, I wonder, Sir, at my own temerity—l may say my audacity —upon that occasion, for when I recollect what a man has to consider who represents England in the House of Com mons I am startled and frightened at the result. The House of Commons forms the greatest part, the most im portant portion, of the Government of England—(hear, hear)—and that important portion influences not only the interior Government of the country to which we all belong, but it goes far abroad. Wherever the name of England is heard—and whore is it not heard ?--(hear, hear) —the influence of the Er glish House of Commons prevails --wherever men are working fur liberty, there the Eng lien House of Commons is cited; and wherever they are endeavouring to free themselves from the fetters which commerce has imposed upon them, there the voice of the English House of Commons is heard. All the influence of the House of Commons influences mankind from beginning to end, and I say, sir, I are startled with the temerity which guided me up el that occasion as a man who proposed him self as a representative of the people of England, for you will recollect that the cotranrce of England pervades every portion of the universe, and that wherever the commerce of England goes there ought to go—there does go—the pre vailing power of the people of England to protect her sons. Well, then, there have arisen from time to time difficulties which have been submitted to the House of Commons, and I, as a member of the House of Commons, have had to de cide upon those great and important questions. Well, sir, I say I am now startled at the recollection of what I then undertook. The commerce, the name of England, as I have said, pervades the whole world, her name goes to the verge of civilisation and beyond, and her laws—the laws that are propounded in the House of Commons—go with the name of England. Well, sir, I have been taught to believe and I think I am right in believing that the business of a legisla tor is a matter to be learned—that law making is a subject which requires an apprenticeship. Why nut ? The lawyer goes through certain forms, a member of the Church of England goes through certain forms, but it would seem a legislator is what I have heard of the gig driver —it comes by instinct. Every man believes that he is in the position to make laws for the country to which he belongs. Well, sir, I think very differently. When I put before myself the point at which I aimed—that of being a representative of the people of England in the House of Common—what I did was to consider everything which I thought would con duce to make an efficient member of the House of Cora , mona. There were three things which I found requisite as a member of the house—first,appropriate knowledge; next, honesty ; and thirdly, courage—and any one of these three being absent I found would nullify the other two. I found that you could have perfect knowledge ; that :you could have a desire to do well, but that if yon had not courage to face the difficulties the thing fell before you—(hear, hear) — and you don't know, sir, the difficulties a member of the House of Commons—but there is ono present, sir, who will tell you (alluding to Sir F. Crossley) that I speak truly— has to encounter. There is cajolery of every sort, there is temptation of every description—but the grand thing is that the man should say to himself, " Now I am hero repre- I ens returned senting the people of England," for though for the borough of Sheffield, still I am also repres en ti ng the people of England. (Applause.) Mind that. There is no mistake. Though I read in the papers that I am mistaken, still that is the fact—l am representing the people of England. And in this great capacity you don't know, sir, the difficulties we have to go through. Why, I will only state one class of those difficulties. Do what I will, sir, I feel very much like the drummer-boy who said, Hit him where you will, you cannot please him," (Laughter.) I feel, sir, that say what I like there are people determined to oppose it. I feel, sir, that there are buzzing flies, not simply bred in dirt, but nurtured in dirt. Their only object is to be uncomfortable to cleanly people. (Laughter.) Now, that is really the thing we have to go through. Do what we will—and I am only answering the toast of " The Members for Sheffield"—do what we will, we cannot please everybody. Now, I believe we have before us—and I speak in the name of my colleagues as well as in the name of myself—difficulties as great as have ever fallen to the lot of the representatives of the people of England. Great indeed are now our difficulties. A Tory of the old fashioned stamp you cannot find now—we are all Libe rals, every man of us. I want to know now where is the man who is opposed to free trade ? Where is the man who will say the difficulties have happened which he predicted before the Reformed Parliament? I would admire any man who could catch a real old fashioned Tory. 1 should advise him to put him under a glass shade and send him to a geological society as an antiquated specimen. (Laughter.) Sir, these are my views. Now, I have been representing the people of Eng land for some two and thirty years—l wish it were a shorter time, sir, for then I should be a younger man ; but the fact is so—but I will tell any man who wishes to represent the people of England that he had better prepare himself for that great work by learning the great business of life, that the world is before him, and that the people of England influence the world. Sir, I thank you. (Cheers.) Sir FRANCIS CROSSLEY, in returning thanks for the mem bers of the West Riding, said—Master Cutler, my Loris, and Gentlemen—Many have been the invitations which 1 have received front you and the members of the corporation, but this is the first time I have had the pleasure of accepting the hospitality of the Master Cutler. I am glad of this opportunity, as one of the West Riding members, of address ing the constituency of the southern, and by far tho largest of the ridings of Yorkshire. Parliament in its wisdom has seen fit to divide the representation of Yorkshire into two, , and, as Sheffield is one of the largest, I am glad of this oppor tunity to say a word at parting. I must speak a little polities, for I feel that England has meddled in the affiirs of other na tions, for £800,000,000 is too large a sum to expend, and there were the lives that were sacrificed in entering into war. I think that this country acted quite right in not interfering . with the struggles at present going On in Europe and Ame rice. If I refer to America I think we must all look upon the history of that country with deep commiseration, I visited sin,.....mrT.OcoTxHwE eEn73,BlTbOalltl(o)oFn,Til n lE :t i l r ie ... ll I had made all the experiments for the British Association up to April 6, becoming nefit to continue the high ascents in safety to ourselves, Mr Cox well therefore built a new one, which he named the Britannia, capable of containing 10,000 more cubic feet than the preced ing balloon, with the view of taking a second otos server, if need be, to the height of five miles, a n d in which 1 nad made three trial trips at moderate ele vations. Its destruction at Leicester, just as it was being brought into condition for high elevations, abruptly stopped all the arranged experiments. A long standing agreement between Mr Coxwell and the Crystal Palace Company to ascend on the Forester's day compelled him to use the old balloon, which was made as sound as possible, and furnished with new netting, car, valve, hoop, &c., especially for the occasion, as the whole of these appointments had been destroyed with the balloon. The balloon left the earth at six minutes after four, it reached one mile high in 14 minutes, the second mile was passed at 4.34, and the highest point reached, nearly 14,000 feet, at 4.50. Here there was no wind, and we continued at between 13,000 and 14,000 feet for more than a quarter of an hour, At fiveVolock we began the descent, and wer e on the ground at 5.31. When at the height of 5,000 feet we experienced very little wind, and for some time looked down upon the same field; the balloon, however, revely ing in three or four minutes in the direction of S.E., N., and W. When we reched the height of 8,000 feet we felt the wind press against our faces, and we 'began to move quickly from the west. At 12,000 feet the air was near!y calm, and quite so at 13,000 feet, and we were here free from any progressing or revolving motion whatever, enabling me to take several sets of vibrations of a horizontal magnet as satisfactorily as on the earth, the result being undoubted that the time of vibration was lengthened. On begin ning the descent the balloon began to revolve, but in the opposite direction, viz., in the direction of; S.W., N., and E., as observed by Mr. W. C. Nas a from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, in 1) 1 i minutes, and afterwards in 5 minutes, these being the intervals of time in which he saw me sucQes., sively in the telescope, and this revolving motion. continued till we reached the earth. On leaving the earth the temperature o f the air was 73 deg. ; it declined to 281 deg., but not con tinuously, and it was 69 deg. on reaching the earth on our descending. The temperature of the dew point was 451 deg. on the ground; above 13,000 ft high it was below zero, and was 48 deg. oil reach ing the ground. The air was most humid a t 5,000 a high both in ascending and descending. At the highest point the number of p ulsations per minute were—Mr Coxweil, 102; Mr 'Cranston, 118 ; Mr Norris, 118 ; my own, 99; and respira tions were Messrs Coxwell and Cranston, each 22 ; and my own, 18. Situated at an elevatich of 2 miles, - without the ordinary motion of the balloon, the air bang for the most part clear, the whole of London was within view, excepting here and there obscured by its own smoke, together with asptiord, Greenvv;Oh, the river Thames, Woolwich, the docks, all ''iithcut motion, and all apparently near to us—every . street, known buildirg, and pathway connecting them, seen distinctly; Greenwich Park like a mail gar den, with its well-known paths like narrow lines, the Observatory as a grey speck, Blacftheatb very small and very bare; all on the same level ; every high building, every hill, every eminence dwarfed down, every valley raised up, all apparently on a level surface, and that the plane of the river Tha rues; no sound heard excepting now and then them;] way whistle; no moving thing seen except the tiny steamboat and diminutive train. The horizon was misty, so that distant objects were not visible; the Isle of Sheppey was, however, seen ; Gravesend and Rochester distinct, Above the mist for one half of the circle was a beautiful cumulus; other cumuli were like patches of wool resting on the ground. Then, passing the eye to places 30 or 40 miles distant, observing the gradual diminution of tho fields till they were all lost together, forming a large sea of verdure. I cannot conceive a finer prospect than being thus becalmed in the car of a balloon, and viewing such a scene with a declining sun. To be fully ap preciated, however, it must be seen. We were accompanied by two gentlemen only, Messrs Norris and Cranston. On descending the breaking over trees r e off e s ;thenla rlarge the e branches, nel a grapnel first missed ; sand was thro w n out, and we rose instantly passeda a nd tree, nnd fiany w elca n nght i: came down in the centre of a field, having experienced one sharp bump, but no instru ments were broken. The place of descent was Whybridge, near Rainham, Essex, on the property of T. Mashiter, Esq.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., Blackheath, Sept. 1, 1864. JAMES GLAISIIER. Determined Suicide of a Military Officer. PORTSMOUTH, Sept 1. A most determined act of self destruction was perpetrated this morning at Anglesea Barracks, Forbes, by Captain Thomas Curchell Holloway, of the 21st Regiment (Royal North British Fusiliers). It appears that about a quarter to six the deceased's ser vant, Private Conway, rapped at his master's door, but failed to obtain an answer, and he went and reported the circumstance to Captain Alfred Ilolt, who obtained an en trance into the room by means of a latch key. He dis covered the deceased, who was undressed, partly in and partly out of bed, with his head touching the floor. At first Captain Holt thought deceased had died from disease of the heart, which he had suffered for some time ; but, on raising him on to the bed, he found that his throat had been cut in the most frightful and determined manner. The wound literally extended from ear to ear, the head being almost severed from the body. There was a very large pool of clotted blood by the side of the bed, and it was apparent that the deceased must have leant his head over the side of the bed, and while in that p o sitionhave cut his throat. Information of the tragic occurrence was given to Police-sergeant Constable, of the Borough .force, whu proceeded to the barracks, and discovered a white-handled razor in the pool of clotted blood, and it was app aren t that this was the instrument with which the deed was committed. The razor belonged to deceased, and he must have taken it from his razor-ease at the other cud of the room. Dr Arthur J. Greer, the regimental surgeon, was promptly in attendance, and pronounced life to be extinct. Tha body was q uite cold and. stiff, and death must have taken place s ome hours previously. S o tar as can at present be learned there is no assignable !na tive fur the commission of this rash act. On the pre vious evening he app eare d qu it e w,dl and hearty, an d far o oa tb l ing lieu eua l was o b served in hi s con d uct or demea nour, About a quar t er pas t n i ne he berrow e d a latch-trey Ensign Robert Willoughby to open his room-door, and after doing so he returned the key to that officer. It is supposed that he then went to bed, as nothing more was heard of him, and he was never again seen alive. The body awaits a coroner's inquest. The regiment haa only returned from India about six weeks, and, during the brief period they have been in bare racks here, two fatalities have occurred, as it was only about a fortnight since that a private belonging to the re giment either threw himself from his bedroom window, o accidentally walked out while in a state of somnambulism, and was killed on the spot. 1 , 0/ (... •' -' & " Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., S N AN D HEI R.
